## Summary

Horsham District Council procured a software service for managing Building Safety Levy obligations. The requirement covers an Obligations Suite Software platform together with supporting maintenance, providing the council with software programming and consultancy services for this regulatory and administrative function. The buying organisation is Horsham District Council, a local public authority in Horsham. The awarded service is classified as software programming and consultancy. The requirement is focused on a specialist obligations-management system rather than general-purpose IT support, and includes both the software solution and ongoing maintenance needed to keep it operational for the council.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EXACOM SYSTEMS LTD. Horsham District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under an exemption in its Procurement Code and Contract Standing Orders on grounds of limited competition. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030, for a fixed four-year term. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The award covers the single software and maintenance requirement, and the resulting contract is active. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive direct award rather than a scored competition between tenderers.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a local authority for a specialist software product that manages Building Safety Levy obligations, supported by continuing maintenance. Competitors seeking similar public-sector work would need a credible obligations-management platform, relevant software programming and consultancy capability, and the capacity to maintain the service throughout a multi-year public contract. Experience of translating regulatory or statutory obligations into reliable software workflows would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to support council users and keep the system operational over time. The direct award rationale indicates that the buyer regarded the market as having limited competition, so a supplier returning to this requirement would need to show a clearly differentiated product or specialist capability that is difficult to substitute.
